晨興聖言-...主的恢復之中心負擔...(W5-2)

晨興餧養
太十一29『我心裏柔和謙卑，因此你們要負我的軛，且要跟我學，你們魂裏就必得安息。』
羅八29『因爲神所豫知的人，祂也豫定他們模成神兒子的形像，使祂兒子在許多弟兄中作長子。』
一個人得救之後，他裏面深處就渴望，照着主耶穌所設立的模型過生活。然而，許多人不是忽視這渴望，就是錯誤的培養這渴望，以爲憑着自己的努力可以成功的效法祂。我們以爲靠着運用天然的生命可以效法基督，這是錯誤的。基督的信徒應當效法祂，但他們不該照着天然的生命效法祂。
那在耶穌身上是實際者，是指耶穌一生的真實光景，如四福音所記載的。…在耶穌敬虔的生活裏乃是真實，實際。耶穌在生活中總是在神裏面，同着神並爲着神行事。神是在祂的生活中，並且祂與神是一。這就是在耶穌身上是實際者。我們信徒，旣以基督作我們的生命得了重生，並在祂裏面受過教導，就照着那在耶穌身上是實際者學了基督。（以弗所書生命讀經，四七六至四七七頁。）
信息選讀
當我們相信主耶穌而得救時，神就把我們放在作爲模子的基督裏。這模子就是記載在四福音裏耶穌的生活，這是完全照着實際而有的生活。實際（真理）是光的照耀，光的彰顯。因爲神就是光，（約壹一5，）所以實際（真理）就是神的彰顯。福音書裏所記載耶穌的生活，每一面都是神的彰顯。祂所說所行的，都彰顯神。神的這個彰顯，就是光的照耀；因此，這彰顯就是實際（真理）。耶穌這照着實際而有的生活乃是模型，神已經把我們放在其中。在這模型裏，我們照着那在耶穌身上是實際者，學了基督。這意思是，我們照着福音書所給我們看見的實際，亦卽照着主耶穌那完全照着神實際的生活，學了基督。這生活是光的照耀。光的照耀是實際（真理），而實際（真理）是神的彰顯。所以，在耶穌的生活裏有實際。主耶穌所設立的模型，其素質乃是實際。這意思是，耶穌之生活的素質乃是實際。我們照着那在耶穌身上是實際者，學了基督。
當主耶穌在地上生活時，祂從未在虛妄裏行事爲人，反倒一直在實際裏行事爲人，也就是在神聖之光的照耀下行事爲人。這意思是，主耶穌的生活行事都彰顯神。我們乃是照着那在耶穌身上是實際者，學了基督。（以弗所書生命讀經，四七七至四七八頁。）
主耶穌受浸以後，那靈降在祂身上。然後主就開始祂工作並盡職事的行動。…祂的生活和工作之間沒有差別。祂的生活就是祂的工作，祂的工作就是祂的生活。我們可以說，主耶穌是活祂的工作，祂是活一種職事。主過着一種傳講、教訓、趕鬼、醫病、並潔淨痲瘋的生活。對祂來說只有一件事，就是祂的生活，這生活就是祂的工作、行動和職事。主無論作甚麼，講甚麼，到那裏去，這些都是祂生活的一部分。
當主耶穌在地上行動，活出神的生活時，祂對不幸的人傳揚福音，向黑暗中的人教訓真理，爲被鬼附的人趕鬼，醫治病人，並潔淨痲瘋。這是馬可一章所描繪的。然後，我們在二章和三章看見，主耶穌赦免人的罪，叫他們與祂一同歡樂坐席；主以自己作他們的義，在外面遮蓋他們，且以自己作他們的生命，在裏面充滿他們。然後，祂就成了他們的滿足與釋放。（馬可福音生命讀經，五五四頁。）

WEEK 5 — DAY 2
Morning Nourishment
Matt. 11:29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Rom.
8:29 Because those whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be
conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among
many brothers.
After a person is saved, deep within him he desires to live a life in the
pattern established by the Lord Jesus. However, many either ignore this
desire or cultivate it in a mistaken way, thinking that by self-effort
they can succeed in imitating Him. It is a mistake to think that we can
imitate Christ by the exercise of our natural life. The believers in
Christ should imitate Him, but they should not do so according to their
natural life.
The reality in Jesus is the real situation of the life of Jesus as recorded in
the four Gospels…In the godly life of Jesus there is truth, reality.
Jesus lived a life in which He did everything in God, with God, and for
God. God was in His living, and He was one with God. This is what is
meant by the reality is in Jesus. We, the believers, regenerated with
Christ as our life and taught in Him, learn from Him as the reality is
in Jesus. (Life-study of Ephesians, pp. 394-395)
Today's Reading
When we believed in the Lord Jesus and were saved, God put us into
Christ as the mold. This mold is the life of Jesus recorded in the four
Gospels, a life absolutely according to reality, truth. Truth is the
shining of light, the expression of light. Since God is light (1 John
1:5), truth is the expression of God. Every aspect of the life of Jesus
recorded in the Gospels is an expression of God. In everything He said
and did, He expressed God. This expression of God is the shining of
light; hence, it is the truth, the reality. This life of Jesus
according to reality is the pattern in which God has placed us. In this
pattern we have learned Christ as the reality is in Jesus. This means
that we have learned Christ according to the reality shown in the
Gospels, that is, according to the life of the Lord Jesus, which was
wholly according to God’s reality, God’s truth. This life is the shining
of light. The shining of the light is truth, and truth is the
expression of God. Therefore, in the life of Jesus there is truth,
reality. The essence of the pattern set up by the Lord Jesus is reality.
This means that the essence of the life of Jesus is reality. We have
learned Christ as the reality is in Jesus.
When the Lord Jesus was living on earth, He never walked in vanity.
Rather, He always walked in reality, in truth, that is, in the shining
of the divine light. This means that the Lord Jesus lived and walked in
the expression of God. We have learned Christ according to this very
reality that is in Jesus. (Life-study of Ephesians, p. 395)
After the Lord Jesus was baptized, the Spirit descended upon Him. Then
the Lord went forth in His move to work, to minister…With Him there was
no difference between life and work. His life was His work, and His work
was His life. We may say that the Lord Jesus lived His work; He lived a
ministry. The Lord lived a life of preaching, teaching, casting out
demons, healing the sick, and cleansing the lepers. With Him there was
just one thing—His life, which was His work, His move, and His ministry.
Whatever the Lord did, whatever He spoke, and wherever He went were all
part of His life.
As the Lord Jesus moved on earth, living a life of God, He preached the
gospel to the miserable people, He taught the truth to those in
darkness, He cast out demons from the possessed ones, He healed the
sick, and He cleansed the leper. This is portrayed in chapter 1 of the
Gospel of Mark. Then in Mark 2 and 3 we see that the Lord Jesus brought
people into the forgiveness of sins and into joyfully feasting with
Himself as their righteousness to cover them outwardly and as their life
to fill them inwardly. Then He became their satisfaction and
liberation. (Life-study of Mark, pp. 485-486)
